ASUS TUF Dash F15 FX516PE

The TUF Dash F15 is a well-balanced package, ticking the right boxes when it comes to the design, build, inputs, connectivity, everyday performance, and thermals/noise levels. The Tiger Lake H35 and RTX 3050Ti configuration is also a lot better balanced and more affordable than the higher-tier variants, and the best suited for this chassis, but Asus might have just nailed this product for some of you with their inadequate 144 Hz panel, which could be a deal-breaker in this day and age. We'll get in-depth on all these aspects in the detailed review down below.
